Hi Nick, Thanks for your daily TP reports, with amazing detail that is very useful here. The salt water-enhanced Victoria TP openings (as well as the Orcas Island version) are always much more impressive than the watered-down Puyallup variety, so it's quite likely that Victoria had good TP propagation well before 1510 UTC this morning. It's been very obvious since the summer (when Walt was reporting on his DU's in August) that Victoria has much longer and deeper TP openings than this Puyallup inland location-- something that I'm sure Guy Atkins would agree with. The short but intense TP openings here always cause a wild scramble to search for new loggings, making it tough to do a complete band scan (like your excellent daily TP reports, in great detail). Most of the time I'm lucky to find two or three interesting TP's before the band folds. 73, Gary In a message dated 11/23/2009 10:02:40 A.M. Pacific Standard Time, [email protected] writes:

Certainly a respectable carrier which was cut at 1800UT. best wishes, Nick ***************************** Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC Canada _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected] _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
